How the Truth About Railroad Acci-
dents liz Suppressed.

From the Atlanta (Ga.) Constitutional
You that happen to be riding on a
railroad train this morning, wish to drop
few words into your ear. I don't I'M
derstand one very remarkable thing about
the management of railroads. If an acct
should occur while I am talking to you,
and you should be torn into shreds and
scattered over three counties, do you know
what the managers of the railroad would
do? They would do everything in their
power to prevent the details of the acct
dent from becoming known to the public.
This is one thing l don't understand.
In recent years railroad managers have
grown more and more secretive about ao
cidents. When one occurs mighty HHush"
is flashed along the wires to every agent.
Immediately after, Beware of newspaper
reporters is flashed along. Do you know
that a railroad employe is made to under
stand that the most heinous sin he can COM
NIT is to breath even single word of in
formation concerning a railroad accidents
Whether you know it or not, it is true.
You see, there is reason known only
to railroad managers why accidents should
not be made public. 1 have heard it
whispered that they are afraid to make
| them public because of possible injury to
the railroads business. If this be the
reason, then I think railroad managers are
sadly mistaken. Suppose a case. Suppose
two trains should collide on bridge and
that the shock should tear down the bridge,
completely blocking the railroad for sew
era1 days. Suppose all news of the acct
dent should be suppressed and the unsus-
pecting public should be purchasing tickets
| and shipping perishable freight. Wouldn't
it be reasonable to suppose that the public
would be greatly incensed when it discovered
how it had been imposed upon? The pub
lie certainly would be greatly incensed, just
as it has been times out of number. Sup
pose a little more. Suppose newspaper
reporters he doubtless would-should
receive some shadow of information about
the accident. Unable to obtain the de-
tails he would do just as has been done hun
dreds of times; he would print story com
posed chiefly of rumors and conjeetures. Ru-
mors and conjectures, have noticed, are
always more damaging to railroads than the
ungarbled, unvarnished truth.

Copied from a Portrait $50 Years Old.
When Elihu Yale founded that time hon
ored institution of learning, Yale College, he
struck blow at ignorance that has rever-
berated for more than two centuries through
out the length and breadth of the land, and
placed his name in the foremost rank of
Americas public benefactors But greater
scourge than ignorance is now running
rampant in our midst. Do you know what
ails you when you have dull headache; no
appetite; nothing tastes good that you eat;
specks pass before your eyes; low spirits;
an irritable and peevish temper; bowels con-
stipated; an appearance of red or white
brick dust in the urine; tired feeling and
don't know what ais you? You have fallen
a victim to that modern scourge, Malaria.
Nothing ON this earth will tone you up so
quickly and arrest the progress of Malaria
as Lewis Red Jacket Bittcrs, the only sure
cure for Dumb Ague, Chills and Fever, and
all forms of Malaria. Don't wait till you
are on your back but begin at once the use
of Lewis Red Jacket Bitters.
